Another of my favorite ads, from 1972 DC titles, in the last of the 52-page issues. I'm hard pressed to name another ad that made me want to purchase a book more.
When I finally got a copy in 1995, I was inevitably disappointed. But that wraparound cover is one of the nicest pages Kirby ever produced. The disappointment is in that it primarily contains Golden Age/1950's Kirby material, very little 1960's/1970's material the cover would be representative of.

The later JACK KIRBY MASTERWORKS (1979) book in the same 11" X 14" black and white format has a far superior selection of Kirby pages. I believe they were both published by Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman.


The old image expired, so here it is resurrected with another.

And here is the cover of the actual 14" X 22" wraparound cover of KIRBY UNLEASHED (1971)
